Google tries hard to get google plus everywhere. Now they put google mail into play: http://gmailblog.blogspot.de/2014/01/reach-people-you-know-more-easily.html
Have you ever started typing an email to someone only to realize halfway through
the draft that you haven't actually exchanged email addresses?
If you are nodding your head 'yes' and already have a Google+ profile, then you’re in luck,
because now it's easier for people using Gmail and Google+ to connect over email.
As an extension of some earlier improvements that keep Gmail contacts automatically
up to date using Google+, Gmail will suggest your Google+ connections as recipients
when you are composing a new email.
My answer is NO. I do not start writing an email to someone I don't know. And I do not try to phone someone whos phone number I am not knowing.
I use g+ as a feed reader for some .NET gurus. I don't want that everyone can send me emails because I am following the feeds.
Next bullshit:
Have you ever wondered why Gmail asks you before showing images in emails?
We did this to protect you from unknown senders who might try to use images to
compromise the security of your computer or mobile device.
But thanks to new improvements in how Gmail handles images, you’ll soon see all
images displayed in your messages automatically across desktop, iOS and Android.
Instead of serving images directly from their original external host servers,
Gmail will now serve all images through Google’s own secure proxy servers.
Time to get rid of googlemail.
